FOOD FOR THOUGHT

I've been dwelling on some quotes that I scribbled down while attending the Willow Creek Association's Leadership Summit this past summer. These are particular ones that, as of late, have been floating around in my head and are wiggling their way into my (ongoing) life-planning. If you feel so inclined, feel free to entertain these thoughts in your own life as well:

~ Sometimes the comfortable thing to do is the wrong thing to do.

~ You've got to be prepared to adjust.

~ If you are of religious faith, it'd be odd if it didn't have an impact on your job/on what you do.

~ Leadership is your duty to do if you can do it.

~ The joy of achieving something makes the pain all worthwhile.

~ Make the decision to say "yes" to God every time He asks something of you. You don't have to understand the implications of it, you just have to say "yes" -- sometimes the best paths one has gone down were ones where they had no idea where they were going.

~ This isn't the pre-game, this is the game. You have one life to live full on for God, one life to develop your leadership to the fullest potential.

~What're you going to live for? What will you lay it down for?
